For the 4th of July this year we decided to head to Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at the Wilderness on the Lake Resort which is on Lake Delton (it has water again!). Was a ton of fun, we spent the weekend with my mother, sister Vanessa, and her boyfriend Jeff.
Brad and I had a little weekend getaway and went to visit with our friend Horse at his cabin near here. Was a nice evening hanging out on Loon Lake.
For Father’s day we had a nice relaxing day with the family. Got Brad some new clothes and had lunch with the boys.
This year for Tanner’s 8th birthday we went to Wizard’s Kingdom in Manitowoc. He had a great time with his friends.
So Halloween this year has come and gone. I happen to LOVE Halloween, which gets shared with my boys.
This year we went trick-or-treating with some of our good friends and their children. Tanner wasn’t feeling so hot so we didn’t go for very long, but the kids had an awesome time regardless.
Tanner was a ninja and Ryan was Iron Man, I dressed up as my blood elf Clover. Ashten spent the evening with some of his friends and was not out with us.
Below are the boys’ school pictures. These will be sent out shortly to those who it’s important to receive them.
Tonight I was playing wow, when a dear friend of mine told me that his wife had just suffered a miscarriage. It brought flooding back to me, memories of my own miscarriage. I want nothing more than to console his wife, after all I KNOW what it’s like to feel the pain of the loss of a baby.
Anyway it got me thinking, and I scrounged around till I found a poem I wrote when it first happened (May 1999, although I don’t recall when I wrote the poem, sometime in the next year or so).
I did a google and found my poem listed as “Author Anonymous” but I assure you I wrote this poem.
Without further ado, here it is:
I Miss You Little One
I miss your laughter
Although I’ve never heard it
I miss your warm hugs
Even though I’ve never felt them
I miss watching you dance
Even though it never happened
I miss your kiss
Although I haven’t had one
I miss our talks
Even though we have never directly spoken
I miss watching you sleep
Although you never dreamt in my house
I miss waiting for you to come home from school
Even though you’re never gone
I miss kissing your scrapes
Although you’ve never been hurt
I miss you little one.
This weekend, the boys (even Cleveland) and I wenti to Wisconsin Rapids to see my mom. While there we visited Down on the Farm…a family run farm business that has a nice Halloween event for kids. It was a great time.
